Outlook: Coach Lee is excited about moving back to the San Joaquin Section from the Northern Section this season. Although the Delta Saints are young and inexperienced, Coach Lee believes his running backs will be the strength of the team. Players like David Morales LB, Raul Hernandez RB and Chay Hungate OL/DL could make the difference for the team. As Coach Lee surveys the competition, the SJS-SMAL league, he thinks Vacaville Christian and Bradshaw Christian will be the Saints biggest challenges. "I think we will be competitive if we stay healthy and some of our young players step up," says Coach Lee.
